View processes

[daver676]

How can I view all the processes that are using a
particular file? I am attempting to simply copy one file
into another using the command copy file1+file2, but the
system cannot access file1 because it is being used by
another process. I have performed this copy a bunch of
times with the same two files before, but today I get this
message. Can you please help me figure this out?

Thanks

Dave

Grab a copy of Process Explorer from www.sysinternals.com.
